Beautiful. A painterly feel. Part street, part abstract.
I thought, I might have tried to move the cable out of the composition
if it were mine.
Then, I realized that my "better" composition might look somehow
sterile compared to yours.
That cable adds a sense of reality.
Still too much to learn!
Bruce, Marco, Rick and Ann,
Thank you all for your comments on this photograph.
Rick, the unsharp part of the flower is due, in part, to lack of a tripod.
Even then, it may not be tack sharp as I was not aiming at a faithful,

Ann, I guess my intention to play with the "spiky vs

And a misuse of the term "circle of confusion".
It is, to be certain, an archaic use of the term confusion and today we
might better say convergence.
They use it to describe the out-of-focus area when it's actually the
in-focus area, the point where the light from the lens converges.
